Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

This might sound stupid bit can i get a defect for a glovebox that will not open :yes: ? im thinking of making a carbon gauge and boost controler holder that fits inside the glovebox

my glove box has a has a facade that fits inside it, and it holds my water temp gauge, oil temp gauge. and has a spot for my ebc.. there is no room to put anything but a small piece of paper... went thru regency with it in there. it does open, but is essentually useless for anything else.

Changing the glovebox to hold the boosat controller isnt a problem, but having a boost controller is. They will argue that increasing the boost may chjange the emmissions, and hence is illegal (basically any mod that gives you more power could be interperated as changing emissions and hence a breach and defectable)

I know they are illegal and can be seen in the engine bay aswell but for some cops that dont know what they are looking for in the engine bay but know what to look for in the cabin. I thought it would be a good idea to place the controler in the glovebox and maybe have it locked and if i get pulled over ad say iv lost the key lol but can i still get defected for saying the glovebox wont open?

I have tucked mine up infront of the fuse box, you cant see it unless you open the fuse panel.

How often do you use the boost controler? mine is pretty much set and forget (I leave it on low boost, and only open the panel and select high boost on special occasions)

should b fine, similar to what i have, but mine is poxy black plastic :blush: ... im not keen on having boost controller on display, its no longer in there, but thats just me

Talking to a few people I hear regency have installed their emissions tester (though I would prefer external confirmation on this). If this is the case potentially boost controllers and non standard turbos could be considered legal if you could pass the emissions test.

In NSW (where people have public access to such testing centres) tuned cars have gotten through the emissions test, but in SA we don’t have any workshops with the gear to do the proper test.

Whilst it could be done, it would be expensive here in SA.

From there, soapbox rider can enjoy a vertical 1000 meters of gravity assisted ride. As these kids help stranded truck drivers along the road, they're called bomberos (firemen). They transport drinks, food and spare parts to broken trucks."

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
